'Servant' in the Bible

For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord, who spoke to the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said,“I love You, O Lord, my strength.”

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;In keeping them there is great reward.

Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;Let them not rule over me;Then I will be blameless,And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

Do not hide Your face from me,Do not turn Your servant away in anger;You have been my help;Do not abandon me nor forsake me,O God of my salvation!

Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;Save me in Your lovingkindness.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication;And let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified,Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”
